Bleeding Hearts #5 Preview

 

 

It can happen without warning. Often, we don't know why. Yet one day, we want something different than we ever did before. Poke may have been an oddball. Still, he was a valued member of the zombie community, and Mush's best friend. Then, without warning, explanation, or desire, Poke started behaving oddly. Or at least, more oddly than he had before. 

So, Mush gives his friend space. He figures sooner or later, Poke will explain things, and life will revert to normal. Then, Mush discovers the worst thing imaginable. Poke has betrayed his community. What happens when Mush realizes that Poke has been feeding and protecting Live Ones? Can things ever be the same between Mush and his friend again?
